Not too long ago I actually posted about this here. That neoliberalism, aka Reaganomics, has remained on the shelf long after what should have been its sell by date. It is now anyone's guess when the stench might be removed from the shelf. Any guesses?
And, big money corrupts everything it touches. Any questions?
Yes, big money/neoliberalism = same thing. It has to be the early or mid-2020s, or else the stench will never go away. Right now, Joe Manchin keeps watering down the disinfectant. I suggest writing to him, even if it does no good. Biden's Build Back Better Bill (the BBBBB) would go a ways to dispelling neoliberalism/Reaganomics. If he doesn't vote for some version of it, then if the Democrats lose congress in Nov.2022, neoliberalism is back. It is there wherever and whenever Republicans still hold power, along with the culture war.
If the midterms leave us in the smelly dark place again, then our only hope seems to be Biden's re-election and congress Democratic again in 2024. Millennials will be almost the majority of the electorate by then. If Kamala Harris runs instead, and is nominated, the Democrats will lose, and we lose our country. We win with Biden, or we lose our country and our world forever. The decision cannot be put off any longer. We are in scary 4T times.
